Sweet Pickled Cabbage
from All Around the World Cookbook by Sheila
Lukins
8 cups finely shredded green cabbage *
2 Tbsp coarse salt
1 cup rice wine vinegar
3 Tbsp (packed)
brown sugar
2 - 3 tiny dried red (hot) (Use part of a Krimzon Lee)
1.) Place cabbage in a large bowl and toss with the salt.
Let sit for one hour, tossing twice. After an hour place cabbage
in a colander, rinse with cold water and drain well. Return
it to the bowl.
2.) Meanwhile, combine vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan.
Lightly crush the chiles, discarding seeds, according to taste.
Add chiles to saucepan. Cook over low heat until sugar is
dissolved, 1 1/2 to 2 mins. Cool to room temp.
3.) Add vinegar mixture to the cabbage, toss to combine and
let rest for one hour or more. Drain and serve, or store
in the refrigerator for up to 3 - 4 days.
* May have to cut recipe in half.

EGGS---Our chickens are starting to lay their
eggs! Hooray. These beautiful and delicious eggs are available
at the Farm Stand. Better watch out, though: the customers
at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market would take them all if
we'd let them. You all get priority! Come check them out and
see what a really fresh egg looks and tastes like.
Calling all loyal CSA members. We would love
to put your recipes in the Menu. If you have anything that
you'd like to share, please e-mail me at evie@tierravegetables.com
